Speelyai Boat Ramp closed temporarily

Cougar, Wash.—Jan. 19,2022—The Speelyai Boat Ramp on Lake Merwin will be unusable for approximately two weeks beginning Jan. 19 as the reservoir is being temporarily lowered to accommodate work at Lake Merwin Camper’s Hideaway. PacifiCorp regrets the inconvenience this may cause boaters planning to use the facility on those days.

For this period of time, there will be no ability to launch boats on Lake Merwin. PacifiCorp will be communicating with management at Camper’s Hideaway and will restore the lake levels to allow boat launching as soon as is safely possible. Yale Lake is accessible at the Saddle Dam boat launch.

As a reminder, reservoir levels are always subject to fluctuation depending on the water management and power generation needs of our customers and PacifiCorp does not guarantee the accuracy of daily reservoir water elevations.
